This garden's variety of plants, grasses, and stones gives off the illusion of a wild wooded area you could loose yourself in. Landscape design by Sun Valley Landscaping. - Photo by Colin Conces

This lake home has a special place in my heart. Many nights were spent hosting wonderful dinner parties, surrounded by LA's finest musical talent. I was fortunate enough to add a little of my own flair to the existing water thirsty, hillside. Because of California's dry climate, these areas have no immunity to the fires that rage through the area. It's hard to see but we have a recirculating pump that's cycling the water through like a natural stream. Something that is very rare in California. We opted to reinforce the hillside with lots of drought tolerant plants that are deep rooted, so when the rain does come a couple times a year, the hillside doesn't wash out. This home is nestled in Malibu canyon. Any home that is subject to the dangers of fire should have a system in place to preserve your home. This home has a pump that sucks water from the pool in an emergency while you wait for the fire department to arrive.

The property is pastoral in character with rolling, gentle hills and mountain views. Large scale planting design and installation had to bridge the gap between formal / natural and cultivated / wild. This was done by creating an illusion of effortlessness in the garden with balance of structure and softness as well as formality and naturalized forms that are always present yet change throughout the year. Plant material contributes a visual interest through foliage, stems, blooms and fruit.
A large pond was built and in order to improve the water quality a bio-filter was installed. Hardworking emergent plants and edge species filter the water as well as integrate the pond into the landscape. Plant material was selected for aesthetic qualities as well as wildlife food and habitat, particularly for songbirds and pollinators.
